my hommage to danny the bucket man.

so whats going on, hummm
the scruffy deal is fun, now more productive

i included her in on some work of mine, last night she was painting on one of my smalled canvases, she does these figures sorta sexy, fat , slutty, but enjoying themselfs,(strippers hiphop) perfect fo the the skinny dippers set i started a year ago, so i had her basicly draw some figures in to the canvas, and i am cropping them and creating little white trash skinny dippers , bathing in a ol muddy pond, sorta lucid porn like , with beercans sprinkled in.

Scruffy is perfect for the role in all this, when i asked her to draw a figure and place it in there, do it like this?, she said "sure!",.
I never do colabratives, tryed it once with serg, back in the day, it won't work to much ego invloved,. i like to make a good picture in the end, and sorta dictate the end game in the deal, be the master contractor so to speek.
I was explaining it to scruffy why this is so difficult to have colabratives she just nodded her head, and said she was honnored to work on some of my paintings, and she is not a bad drawer too, in creating these wavy burleske women, sorta fat, they fit right into the picture..
plus
i can coast on a smooth combunation of sexual fustrations and wanton desires as i stair at her perfectly taned body.while she burst out laughing , and belches,. and calls me bitch! oh the may I dream the dream ,live on!

so maybe by the end of the deal i am going to re-open the can on the skinny dippers, and make a solid set of work based on the theame, with scruffys twinkling little eyes to help,
yea i know what it sounds like , ..
but hey,
its an adventure, and something differnt,
Scruffy is all about repression and control or attempted blown the cover sexual anxiety, the walking definition of a tease, bold or boyish, but guarded and intoverted. so i figured her spirt would be good pysche material for paintings,.

its these old sentiments of drawing the contures of a womans hip, knowing you just had your blessed bee hands places apone them.
oh lord save me now!,.

its one of the funny things about her, is i am controwated into these role playing, and it gets carryed over to the canvas eventual. like your speeking into the events that took place in any of these skinny dipping seens, its that extra umpft! than makes it personal, alot of extra details .,
but of cource with a paint brush, it maybe the pictortial moment over crafting a seductive narritive,
ahh we shall see.,

Ruralists Collective Including painters from Tennessee, Texas and Alabama, the Ruralists Collective combines an academic understanding of contemporary art with a folk aesthetic to create a largely narrative body of work that draws from Americana, frontier mythology, rural iconography and agricultural traditions. The collective comes to the Belcourt Theatre lobby through founding member Harry, a local painter whose work has been finding its way into the hands of new collectors via shows at The Art House and Plowhaus alike. Including work by Franne Lee and Merrilee Challis, the shows highlight is the bizarre and brutal body of work by Texas painter Chicken George, whose mythic pieces are populated by snakes, goats and roosters and seem to be torn from a childrens book your parents wisely kept out of reach. An opening reception takes place on 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 4. JOE NOLAN
